Download Bookyakuno’s Mask Tools v4.2.3 for Blender on Windows and Mac, a professional-grade addon designed to create complex masks, isolate specific geometry, and generate clean compositing passes with unmatched speed. With advanced edge detection, smart material grouping, and one-click render layer generation, Bookyakuno’s Mask Tools transforms how you prepare assets for post-production in After Effects, Nuke, or Fusion, eliminating the need for manual rotoscoping or tedious node setup in the Compositor.

Key Features of Mask Tools v4.2.3:

Smart Edge Detection: Automatically identifies high-contrast boundaries and silhouette edges to create pixel-perfect masks for hair, foliage, and transparent objects instantly

One-Click Render Passes: Generates dedicated Cryptomatte, ID, and Alpha passes for selected objects or collections with a single button, ready for industry-standard compositing workflows

Interactive Mask Painting: Includes a specialized brush set for painting selection weights directly on the mesh, allowing for soft transitions and custom mask refinement without leaving the viewport

Boolean Selection Logic: Combine, subtract, or intersect multiple object selections using intuitive boolean operators to create complex grouped masks without scripting

Auto-Group by Material: Instantly creates mask groups based on material slots, perfect for isolating specific parts of a multi-material asset for independent color grading

Compositor Node Generator: Automatically builds the necessary node tree in the Compositor to output your masks as separate image files or EXR layers, saving hours of manual connection

Batch Mask Export: Process multiple scenes or frames simultaneously to export mask sequences for animation projects efficiently

Improved Accuracy v4.2.3: Enhanced algorithm for handling semi-transparent surfaces (glass, smoke), better anti-aliasing on curved edges, and faster processing for high-resolution renders

Cross-Platform Support: Works flawlessly on both Windows and Mac systems including Apple Silicon M1/M2/M3 chips

Perfect For:

VFX artists needing clean plates and isolated elements for compositing

Motion graphics designers separating foreground and background for post-effects

Texture artists creating specific masks for Substance Painter or Photoshop workflows

Architectural visualizers isolating furniture, lighting, or structural elements for client edits

Anyone tired of manually painting alpha channels or setting up complex render layers
